lyrics

Can’t kill myself, well I guess I’ll do something else
Can’t break the strain, it always comes back again
And I know distractions will put my mind somewhere else
Somewhere in the action I’ll lose myself

Can’t stop, can’t relax, can’t settle down
Going down
Feel the pain in my brain, hell, it’s spinning around
Bringing me down

When you hit the ground
Only when you find out
Don't know what the only sound is
Me screaming, can’t stop it now

Metaphorically truth is a bitch that will set you free
Eventually I will learn to love in the highest degree
Until that time I’ll be looking through this window of pain
Somewhere in the action I will loose myself again

Can’t stop, can’t relax, can’t settle down
Going down
Feel the pain in my brain, hell, it’s spinning around
Bringing me down
